If the project is in its final stages of completion, on the one hand, the project is very safe from a job-creation standpoint. Most, if not all of the direct construction jobs, the indirect jobs, and even the induced jobs may be in place, making the EB-5 investment very safe from an immigration standpoint. On the other hand, since the investor, in this case, would most likely have a few more years for his whole process to finish, he would most likely be facing reinvestment risk. Therefore, even though the investor is not a citizen of a country subject to visa retrogression, he could still be subject to reinvestment risk by simply choosing a project he considers safe. Unfortunately, a project that needs to return capital before the investor is ready will create reinvestment risk for him.
